Since we are getting the 10th gen type R, and not the current 9th gen, we should see it here at the earliest as a 2017 model at the very end of 2016 or at the latest as a 2018 model at the end of 2017 since the Euro hatch just did a refresh honda could run it for another year or 2 years. When they're ready for a new model that's when we'll get the hatch version civic here, including the Type R.

And it won't even be the one we've been seeing around lately. That kinda excites me since this generation's was so nice, and I just assume the next will also impressive.

Agreed. I think the next one will be even more impressive. The current gen CTR is basically a normal civic with bolt ons and body kits. The 10th gen being all new allows for a more planned out cohesive design that will compliment the already good looks of the 10th gen civic (since the hatch will share the front end with the coupe and sedan). The new platform should also allow for even more fine tuning in handling and overall refine the CTR that much more. Add into that all the new tech the 10th gen has and you've got one of, if not the nicest FWD hot hatch on the market.

Too bad with that $30k+ price tag its going to end up getting compared to luxury cars out of its class

The 10th Gen' shell already looks a bit like the 2016 Honda Civic Type R, to make a 10th Gen Type R Honda will need to redesign the interior and maybe add in something close to a 2.0L Turbo.

Its pretty much already been established that the 2.0T will carry over to the next gen Type R. As for the interior, other than different seating surfaces and maybe a slightly different gauge setup (or extra gauges added for boost and oil pressure etc) the interior should remain the same as the rest of the 10th gen lineup like it has for the current gen compared to the current gen base euro civics.
